We
then arrive to Blest Port, an area of dense vegetation on account
of its extremely humid climate.
From
there we take a bus to Frías Lake where the water has a very
special shade of green. Then we arrive at Puerto Alegre where we
board a boat and sail on this lake. This offers a beautiful view
of Tronador Mountain; we sail by Pared del eco (The Echo Rock Wall)
to Frías Port and then return to Blest Port going on to Cascada
Los Cántaros (Pitchers' Waterfall). From here, we climb up
the steps of 600 metres path leading to three belvederes on the
sides of the waterfall which offer very beautiful sights of different
smaller falls.
We
can admire all along this climb the splendid native species and
valdivian rain forest -coihue trees, colihue canes, cypresses, climbing
vines and lianas. At the end of the path we get to the Pitchers'
Pond, the source of the waterfall, 852 mts. above sea level and
a pond which generally freezes during winter months. A few metres
away from the coast we find a very old larch tree specimen (Fitzroya
Cupressoide) 1500 years old.
We
then take the boat back and return to Bariloche.
